Teacher not to 'Friend' Students


The Ontario College of Teachers is telling teachers not to "friend'' students on Facebook or follow them on Twitter.

They're also being told to avoid exchanging private texts, phone numbers, personal e?mail addresses or photos of a personal nature with students.

A spokesperson for the College says e-communication and social media can offer exciting teaching experiences but there are serious risks of misunderstandings or abuse.
